Nehemiah Dukes brings veteran size, motor, and timely disruption to Ohio’s front
In the 2025 season, Nehemiah Dukes started all 13 games for Ohio and posted 30 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 sack, showing up as a steady interior presence with a knack for playing through contact and setting a physical tone. He’s a 6-foot-1, 288-pound senior who transferred in from Youngstown State, where he also logged production and experience, so this is not a one-year wonder. The appeal: reliable snap-to-snap effort, enough juice to flash in key moments, and a plug-and-play feel for a defensive front that values toughness.
